Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016063210A1] Described is a method for transporting a structure with buoyancy, such as for instance a floating foundation (70) of a wind turbine (7), over water using a vessel (1). In the method a support surface (40,41) of the structure is brought into contact with a higher support surface of the vessel, and the two support surfaces are coupled by shear forces. In a situation in which it is coupled to the vessel (1) the structure is transported by movement of the vessel. Using the invented method a structure with buoyancy can be transported and installed on an underwater bottom in efficient manner.
